MoodWhiplash: The short is fairly light-hearted for the most part, but then we go from a happy background relationship with James and Kirby to an argument that ends badly, with Kirby slamming the door. Cue James dealing with it horribly.

* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: If you focus less on Winston and more on his owner and his girlfriend, you'll see different stages of the relationship and on the owner.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: After [[spoiler:Kirby leaves James, Winston is happy to be pigging out again... until he sees how miserable his owner is, then the little doggie resolves to get the two together again, even if it does mean an end to the people food he loves so much.]]

* ComfortFood: During the SecondActBreakup, James goes straight for the ice cream and cookies, and goes back to eating spaghetti, mac & cheese, and pizza.

After Winston [[spoiler:realizes how unhappy James is without Kirby]], both Winston and the audience start looking more closely at the humans' faces, showing how much he has come to care about them.
